My apologies for raising this thread, and hello to the forum.

Brut.all, could you please point me towards this ADOM port for android? Haven't been able to find it.
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
I was wrong, I was playing Angband, not ADOM - sorry. Unfortunately ADOM is closed source, but its author is considering open sourcing it, so maybe it will be droidized in some future :-)
[Android Apps and Games] bachstail:
I was afraid so... I thought that somebody had collaborated with Biskup to port ADOM to Android. Some day hopefully :)

Thanks anyway for your quick reply :)

Crusade of Destiny is an ok game reminds me of EQ for some reason. I been wanting to try dungeon hunter the screen-shots look good.

Hero of Sparta is a very fun game.

I know Hero of Sparta might not be 100 rpg, but its closest to fill that void (besides giving into the drug of choice WoW "2 months clean")
[Android Apps and Games] droidx1886:
hey u guys talking about ang? well in that case im playing nethack and slash em on the droid. . . but for the controls i mapped it to my wii remote, so i don't have to rely on the virtual keyboard. can you imagine how hard it was to kick down a highly resistant door with the virtual keyboard lol i kept pressing k and then the direction of the door. let's not even talk about sinks lol. . . anyway, wii remote + nethack is the way to go if you like rpgs. i don't see anything else that resembles a playable rpg on the droid market thus far.

I just got a Droid X (first android phone, and LOVING it), and I'm looking for some games to check out. Emulators sound like a good route to try, is there somewhere they're available online? Preferably free, if possible? And can anyone recommend a good emulator available in the Market?

Not what you traditionally think of as RPGs, but Choice of Broadsides and Choice of the Dragon are terrific little choose-your-own-adventure type games. They've probably been the best games I've played yet on my Slide.

Wacky Toons RPG

Maybe you could check out Wacky Toons RPG. It's actually written for android and not a port from old systems.
[Android Apps and Games] pat3ck:
In my opinion, here are some of the good Android RPGs:

10. Battleheart

9. Heroes of Loot

8. The Bard's Tale

7. Shadowrun Returns

6. The Forest of Doom

5. Sorcery! 2

4. 9th Dawn

3. Knights of Pen & Paper +1

2. Final Fantasy VI

1. The World Ends with You

Hope it helps!

Is this possible? In WinMo we got choppy video, and this could be fixed using tcpmp, but in android I can't even play my video files (i can only hear them). Is there a way to fix this?

I had a video that I recorded on WinMo that I could watch on android, but that was the only video I could watch. Is there a way to convert videos so that I can watch them?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] piperthedj:
best as i have been able to see NO
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rainmakerrc:
This has worked for me to convert videos:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Did you get it with the carrier & sign a contract? or Purchased it unlocked?

Personally i got mine for $650 directly 16GB version, i hate phone carriers contracts

I've read some people seems to have paid less even without carriers.

on ebay the average price for the 16GB version is around $750
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ollie2:
Mine is going to cost me about £500 in total on an 18 month contract with 600 mins, texts and data.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thephawx:
$550 shipped to the US
[Galaxy S I9000 General] leoon:
There already was a topic about this thing,

I payed ~390 euro (500$) for mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
380£ for the i9000 8GB version+8GB SD card.

It's so much fun not having to pay VAT. lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MacGuy2006:
It depends which version.

The smaller 8GB ones are in the $500-550 range nowadays.

The larger 16GB version goes for about $120-$170 more.

I paid almost $800 delivered for my 16GB :)

I like the larger storage, since I used to have sporadic corruption with SD cards in WM, and from what I read Android is not exempt from these, either. I want peace of mind when I am on the road and don't have a backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prufrock:
£280 all in (inclusive of VAT) with a third party seller on a really crappy contract, but I already have a contract with T-Mobile which I'm now using in the SGS. Mine is an unlocked, unbranded 8gb stock phone, so free of carrier crap too.

Dialaphone - £20pm 18mth O2 contact, downgradeable at month 9 to £15pm, plus I got £35 cashback by going through TCB. The O2 contract is really crap - 100 minutes, unlimited texts and no data allowance, but £280 for a stock SGS is damn good. They stopped doing the O2 deal earlier this week, though. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kramiz:
€ 380 for the 8GB version, no contract. Not paying VAT is nice. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
£410 at Carphone Warehouse, SIM free and unlocked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] badasschris:
£355 from o2 unlocked, to get it you have to already have been with o2 for about 6 months I think and then you can ask to purchase a phone from them (i.e. say im unhappy with current phone but dont want to affect contract) this wasn't the best deal by a long way (desire £285) but i wanted this phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
Damn, Holland is expensive.

16GB with 200minutes/400texts/unlimited data for 2 years at 650€
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
Bollocks! If I knew this I could have saved some money. Is the phone unlocked?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneralSpecific:
Hi everybody! Thanks for taking the time to read this and help.

I am having trouble with Qik. Whenever I call someone using Qik, I can see the streaming video just fine. The person on the other end can see me just fine, and hear me just fine. However, my phone has no sound when Qik is up. This problem occurs on all connection types, 4g, WiFi, etc.

My Evo is 100% stock, no modifications, and on the most current firmware. Since you cannot uninstall and reinstall Qik, the most I have done is clear the data using the Applications tab in Settings.

Thanks again

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typ_ex:
Hello, I have been trying to search/understand what the pros and cons are of froyo a2sd vs the one people used before it. Anybody care to explain it to me? I have found something else called a2sd+, what is that about? If there is a thread explaining this, I apologize and would like the link to it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Froyo way:

Data is moved in encrypted form to FAT32 partition on SD card.

Pros:

Nothing needed to set it up.

Cons:

Applications don't work when SD card is mounted. Widgets can't be moved. Monitoring apps can't be moved.

Applications don't get mounted early enough, icons disappear in non-stock launchers.

Needs to be supported by app creator (can be forced to SD through hacks).

Apps2SD(+ or not):

Creating another EXT2/3/4 partition on SD card, mounting it, making all or selected apps go there. 2 ways - either by symlink or by hacking the framework (doesn't exist on Froyo yet, existed in Cyanogen 5.X).

Pros:

Everything works as if the apps are on the phone.

Cons:

SD card needs to be repartitioned. Windows won't read this card when out of the phone, only Linux (until partitioned back to standard).

No framework support in Froyo yet (CM6.1 is expected to deliver it), so only the symlink method works (moving ALL apps).

Hi all,

Which is better to root my evo? Simpleroot or Unrevoked? Or does it even matter?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaIV:
I just ran Simpleroot in less than an hour (that includes downloading and installing .NET 4 framework and rebooting my computer and restoring my backed up data). Unrevoked has never worked for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutter9:
unrevoked literally took me 3 minutes. just pick one and do it..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flip603:
I guess the better question is will you have any limitations if you use unrevoked3 instead of simple root (in terms of flashing custom roms)?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeC84:
I thought unrevoked doesn't unlock NAND? I used simple root then followed the thread, how to start over: fully rooted update 1.47, to unlock NAND and get su permissions app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Status Flow:
Yes, but as of version 3.0 the unrevoked homepage says this:

"#

Does unrevoked3 give me root?

Yes. It previously did not; as of version 3.0, it does.

#

What does this do, then?

unrevoked3 will replace the stock Android recovery with a custom one, which adds many features including “nandroid” backups, the ability to use custom ROMs, and a greater amount of flexibility and customization of your Android phone. "

Even though it doesn't unlock NAND...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallyw:
can anyone speak to whether there is an advantage of using simpleroot on a pre OTA EVO vs letting the OTA update run and then using unrevoked 3?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martymania85:
Safe to say that unrevoked versus simple root is just different gui's but the end result is the same?

[Android Software Development] FlashGameLicense:
Hey guys,

Apologies if this isn't an appropriate place to post this. I'm hoping some of you will find this an interesting opportunity. FlashGameLicense (FGL) is running a contest in partnership with Adobe to promote flash game developers to port/adapt their titles to play on Android. I thought I might try to see if Android developers would be interested in exploring the development opportunities available with flash.

Cell Your Flash Game Contest

[Sorry I can't post a direct link yet. If you search for the phrase above you will find it quickly. I do apologize again if this is considered spam.]

This contest is actually focused on flash games that run well within the browser but I think an effective marketing strategy would be building your game in Flash using AIR to create an Android App for sale. Then create a lite version of the same game for in-browser play that up sells to your App and of course is entered in our contest. ;)

I'd love to hear any questions or comments about this strategy and our contest. The way we structured it is to have 150 cash prize winners so almost every quality entry will win something. It's only $100 (there are bigger prizes for the top ones) but the real incentive is getting your feet wet in what we think will be an extremely lucrative market. Buyers on FGL spend $300,000-$400,000 a month sponsoring and licensing flash web games. If you design your mobile game in flash you can sell your app on Android and reach the desktop web game market at the same time.

If you are not interesting in developing with Flash can I ask why? What are the disadvantages compared to traditional tools for Android development?

Thanks for your time!

[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
When a rom says its oc...does that mean it already IS oc'd or that it CAN be oc'd? Take for instance eris lightningbolt rom. It says OC but I'm not sure if that means it already is or that it can be? Trying to figure out if the speed increase of my eris is simply due to the new rom or due to a possible oc? I have NOT installed setcpu yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zwade01:
It means it's capable... you need setCPU or Overclock Widget to increase the speed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vantagejuan:
Could be over clocked already, but it definitely means that it can be over clocked. Ask the ROM dev in that particular thread to find out. Also, please refrain from posting general questions in the development forum in the future. Can a mod please move this thread?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
it means it has a kernel capable of being overclocked as of lately no rom is allowd to be bundled with SetCPU so you won't be able to flash and Oclock it right away you must buy/download from xda the setcpu.apk but most OC'd roms come set to about 710 mhz for stability
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Some kernels come custom clocked higher.

Hi

I'm trying to set up a job email for somebody who has this phone.

The email is on an IMAP server with SSL. The only problem however is that you cannot define the protocols to be used so you can't tell the X10 mini to use SSL. If you see the same window on an X10i you can toggle this.

So the question is then how the *BLIIIP* do I get this working.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] johnsonab:
I think its the volume up key, that you hold down and a digital voice reads off what track and album your listening to?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siwelk:
The rebate won't process until after the 30 day period, so I would imagine not many have received it yet. I got an email tuesday that mine was processing. Bought my Evo on 6/11 and sent in the rebate on 7/6. They received my rebate form on 7/13.

Not tryin to be a d!ck but the process usually states that it will take like 4-8 weeks. If you're just trying to get them to expedite the process I understand, but realistically I wouldnt expect any $$ for at least a month after its started 'processing.' It appears you've only given them a week and a half so far.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jye75:
Yes, typically, the rebate process is not quick at all. Give it the full 8 weeks, chances are, you'll get it around week 7. (from past experience)

Just though it important to note...

If you had to swap out your phone for another for any reason after already submitting the MIR, you will need to re-submit one for the 2nd phone (assuming it was a within 30 day exchange). The first MIR will end up being rejected.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowebird:
Got a letter today telling me it was rejected because they did not get the right sales receipt, even though I orded online, and sent in everything they asked me to (before I actually received my evo).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kperry1911:
6-8 Weeks seems to be the norm from my past experience with many phones / rebates over 10+ yrs w/ Sprint.

I bought my EVO at Best Buy (1st come 1st serve) when Sprint Stores had a waiting list and their website had the "i'm sorry but you can't get one message..." I was shocked to walk into Best Buy Renew My contract and get the phone for $199 + tax out the door. No 8week wait for the MIR.

The Icing was when I called Sprint Tech Support to get my MSL Code 3 days later and the rep tells me I'm eligible for a credit if I extend my contract... Hmmm? The same one I "just" extended @ Best Buy (2 yrs from that day?). I was happy to extend for 3 more days and a $70 Credit that was applied while I was on the phone. Gotta love inefficiencies.

"checks are in the mail..."
